HIMALAYAN KINGDOM NEPAL

It is said, "Nepal
looks like a Silver Necklace from the Space".
Obviously, Himalayan kingdom Nepal, sand-witched between China
and India, is the land of eternal fascination. It is not only
"The Land of Everest”, it is not only the "Birthplace
of Buddha and The Abode of Gods" but also the land of
brave Gurkha soldiers and the playground of mystical snowman
'Yeti'. Moreover, it is the land of culture, nature and adventure.
The elevation of the country
ranges from 60m above the sea level to the highest point on
earth. Because of its unique geographical position, climate
varies from place to place. Consequently, different kind of
vegetation, flora and fauna of every corner of the world can
be found here. Although, Nepal occupies only 0.1% of the earth
but it is the home to 2% of all the flowering plants in the
world, 8% of the worlds population of birds, 319 species of
exotic orchids, 635 species of butterfly, 4% of mammals on
earth. The world's highest lake and the world's deepest gorge
are in Nepal. The Nepalese Himalayas contains 8 of the 10
highest peaks on earth including Sagarmatha 'Everest' 8,848m
the tallest of all. Hence, Nepal is often known as the biggest
natural museum in the world.
Nepal enjoys possessing the
eight world heritage sites (cultural) offered by UNESCO including
the birthplace of Lord Buddha. The Nepalese art and architecture
are of awe and wonder. Stupendous! As Nepal has more than
61 ethnic groups and 70 spoken languages, all they have their
own culture and tradition. It is said " Many temples
as many houses and many god-goddess as many people in the
Katmandu valley". Half of the year passes with colorful
festivals depicting a rich cultural heritage with profound
religious meaning. Temples, images, sacred paintings are to
be seen everywhere. Hence, religion is an integral and deep-rooted
part of Nepalese life. Although, Nepal is a Hindu kingdom
there is a harmonious blending of Hinduism and Buddhism. People
pay their homage with equal importance. In short, it is the
land where feet are respected. It is the land where myths
and legends are still alive.
Therefore, why don't
you make up your mind to befriend yourself among the people
who know the 'Way of Living' – relax among the people
who know the peace of mind and discover the beautiful bliss,
sacred culture and tradition hidden from the outside world.
who know the world may end tonight ?
